[OPEN EVENT] Weekend Winter Wonderland

Characters: All?
Date: March 8th-11th
Location: All of Keeliai
Situation: It's been a stressful month thus far for a lot of people, but Jack is determined to Make All The Happy and decides he needs to get back to his wintery roots by giving the city a proper snowing.
Warnings/Rating: People high on snow glitter?
NOTES: Actionspam OR prose, whatever is preferred! (Settings were just easier to prose.) Make your own thread headers if none of these suit! ♥



Jack had spent the last three hours balanced motionlessly on the top of a flagpole, head tilted back as he listened to the wind and the sound of the city below. Where is Winter? it asked. I'm here! the spirit replied, but he knew it didn't mean his physical presence. He'd had too much on his mind and too much in his heart and in that sense he had indeed been absent these last few weeks.

Eyes closed and thoughtlessly trusting, he tipped forward into open air, letting the wind catch him and hurl him upward into the misty cloud cover that scudded across the stars tonight. At his touch they thickened, fat and pale grey against the indigo backdrop and Jack swirled them up, the motions so ingrained in him they felt just like breathing. In the small hours of the morning snowflakes began to fall on the sleeping city, specks at first but then quickly becoming heavier.

Now with a fresh canvas to work with, Jack was really in his element. He could never have done something like this back home, not anywhere in his world. It would have been too strange, too inexplicable, drawn too much attention. But here on the turtle, things were different. There wasn't really a semblance of normal and Jack poured his imagination and heart into the things he wanted most to share, and from the snow rose gleaming swirls of snow and blue light, forming things of exceptional detail and delight.

By the time the sun rose, a solid three feet of the snow had blanketed the city, glistening and crisp and Jack went rocketing down the streets, rapping on doors and windows to leave spirals of frost on every surface.

"Whooohoo! Snow day! Get up sleepyheads, everyone come out and play!"

[It is a question he certainly didn't expect as he stares in confusion. Seeing Arthur--the near spitting image of his king--enjoy himself like a child was confusing enough. But being asked to take part? How does one react to such a situation?]

It is a pleasure to meet you...Kyle, [couldn't he have gotten a more formal title to go along with that?], but I do not believe that two against one is a fair challenge, my--ah, sir.

Please. I could flatten an army with my eyes closed; two Atlanteans aren't even a challenge. [The taunt is all friendly.

Kyle nods to Arthur.]
Fifteen hits determine the winner?

[He thumbs towards Kyle, good-naturedly. (Yeah, be glad you don't have to see him rough-housing with Garth, Kaldur. They slug each other out of love.)] I think he's insulting our honor as Atlanteans. We'll call it a training exercise if you want.

[He nods back at Kyle.] Fair terms.

I do not... [He feels like he's being pulled in by a whirlpool with how quickly this is going. Would it be rude to turn them down? But is it not overstepping his bounds when they've only just met? He is not sure. They appear to be having a great deal of fun.]

...I would gladly prove that Atlanteans should not be underestimated.

[And he readies himself for battle, hiding behind the fort. A few stray snowballs will come sailing over just to distract Arthur and Kaldur. The real attack has yet to come.]
